Trump Admin Shelves Climate Change Report on NASA Website: Controversy Erupts

Trump Administration Reverses Course on Climate Change Report

The Trump administration is facing strong criticism after reversing its decision to host a major climate change report on NASA's website. This decision has sparked controversy and accusations of censorship.

Initial Plans and the Reversal

Initially, NASA was designated to house the report, complying with a 1990 law. However, NASA has now stated it has no legal obligation to do so, sparking outrage from scientists and former officials.

Concerns over Access to Information

The report, which assesses the impact of climate change on the nation, was previously available on government websites that have since been taken down. Critics argue that the administration is attempting to bury crucial information about the effects of climate change on communities and the environment.Former Obama White House science adviser John Holdren accused the administration of censorship and misdirection.
